yeah, 2 gigs saturday, but still haven’t filled in the friday’s. this will be the 3rd friday in a row without a gig, and believe me when i tell you the entire trio is in the throes of depression because of it.

remind me to ask you…if you like classical music….?! and would play it for your kids…?! of course, with 2 degrees in Classical Music, you can rest assured i LOVES it!!! : )

Get some rest, prep up for your weekend gigs (you got some, yeah?) and for the coming sweep of the hated BoSox. Salud!

Fri, 07 May 2010 05:05:28 +0000http://www.bronxbanterblog.com/?p=33373#comment-106244[30] we’re the same age. i remember the early WS’s, too. i mean, c’mon, you know how freaking precocious i am! ; )

i went to games in 77/78 though too, which helped. so did meeting willie randolph outside the stadium and sharing a room w/ my older brother who idolized reggie, adored the yankees and breathed baseball.

i don’t mind having to dog it out w/ the devil fishes. but i fucking vilipend the shit sox. we best win at least 2 of 3 at that disgusting little league field.

Rays are damn damn good..it’s going to be a dogfight for sure. But first we have to knock those damn Red Sox back a few games after their gift-wrapped sweep of the Angels..

Fri, 07 May 2010 04:35:37 +0000http://www.bronxbanterblog.com/?p=33373#comment-106240[26] There was something so poignant about seeing those highlights set to the lyrics of that song. I see the video is available used on Amazon. I am going to order a copy. I also loved the old record return to glory, the story of the 1977 Yankees, which was narrated by Phil Rizzuto. My grandfather gave me that record and I probably listened it to every day for a year.

The Damon steal is definitely a classic play…and I had the same reaction. I was all set to fire off an angry post before I realized how brilliant the play was.

btw, I saw the Damon steal the other day again..I think that joins the list of Greatest Moments in Yankees History! I’ll never forget yelling at the screen “Where are you going?!?!” Only to see him glide into 3B with no one around…

Fri, 07 May 2010 04:25:35 +0000http://www.bronxbanterblog.com/?p=33373#comment-106237[21] The first season I really remember was 1982, so I have definitely appreciated the current run of success. Growing up, I used to watch this video called “The 10 Greatest Moments in Yankee History” and be so envious of the team’s past. The video ended with a montage set to “Up Where We Belong”, and it would really make me sad!
